Jamie Lee Curtis first became known as Hollywood's "Scream Queen" more than 35 years ago, when she captivated legions of fans who flocked to "Halloween," "The Fog" and other horror fests. What audiences didn't know at that time was that Curtis had her own fears — she was frightened of being pigeonholed.
At the top of her reign in 1979, Curtis turned her back on horror. That risky choice eventually led to a versatile resume that has included hit movies ("True Lies," "A Fish Called Wanda"), sitcoms ("Anything But Love"), books (she has written seven bestselling children's books), commercials (pitching Activia yogurt) and high-profile guest shots ("New Girl").
